Air Pressure Gauge for Airing Down or Up?

[RubenZ]

I'm tired of cheap air pressure gauges that give out or get stuck etc What air pressure gauges do you guys use to accurately AIR down or up?

Thinking of trying this RHINO USA one.

I have one of these, https://www.motionpro.com/product/08-0684

And one of these, http://www.longacreracing.com/produ...prodid=7306&pagetitle=Magnum™-3-½”-Tire-Gauge

Used to road race motorcycles so tire pressure was very important.

I have tested many, and surprisingly I find that the TPMS on the dash is pretty accurate to any gauge.

Dude, you already have an onboard gauge - your TPMS. And your compressor, if you have one, should have a gauge, too.

I use this one from autometer 0-40 PSI

I use this:

https://www.amazon.com/ARB-ARB505-E...=1540420441&sr=8-2&keywords=arb+air+down+tool

It removes the valve stem and measures pressure coming down.

I use the dash and my wife watching it when refilling with air.

Ya but it doesn’t work instantly. You have to release air, drive a bit, and so forth.

That's not true, it is instantaneous. I have an ARB on-board compressor and it reads the tire pressure as it rises. Maybe there is a 5 second lag time, but thats it. On the contrary, I have a Toyota Tundra that is NOT instantaneous and I do have to drive around, but the Jeep's TPMS is unbelievable.

My sensors are not instantaneous it takes a short drive distance to get them to update

I've used Staun tire deflators for years. Very accurate, and allows me to do other things while the tires lower on their own. Just screw them on and go work on something else. Amazon has them, and a write up below.

The few second lag time is worth at least 0-3 psi depending on your compressor

I like this concept. It may not provide enough time to finish my beer though. Or I could wrap up the sway bars instead of having my wife do that.

Staun's really work out well. As soon as I get to the trail I screw them on then go socialize or work on my other gear. If I get distracted it doesn't matter since they stop by themselves and can sit there until I come back. Used to pass them around a fair amount to others that wanted the same psi.

For filling back up I gave up on the compressor route and have a co2 tank with a regulator and high flow gauge. Insane how quick it gets pressure back up.

This... and the lag time is random. Sometimes it updates right away and others it takes 30 - 60 seconds. First world problems.. I guess
